I really love this song. It was sung by Mukesh for the movie Dharam Karam in 1975, and sung on stage by Raj Kapoor, whose son Randhir Kapoor directed the movie. The movie was about how an underworld don and a honest man bring up each others sons. The underworld don, Premnath exchanges his son with Raj Kapoor, who is a singer, but inspite of their upbringing, the sons follow the paths of their real fathers. The movie stars Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Premnath and Dara Singh. It was R.D. Burman's only film as a Music Director for RK Films. Everytime I listen to this song with Raj Kapoor singing it on stage, you can feel it to be an auto-biographical song, with a person finally being remembered for his creations and works of art.
